/**
 * @NOTE
 *
 * If this test fails for you, you have modified the database schema or fixtures or default settings.
 * When you make a change, please test that:
 *
 * 1. A new blog get's installed and the database looks correct and complete.
 * 2. A blog get's updated from a lower Ghost version and the database looks correct and complete.
 *
 * Typical cases:
 * You have to add a migration script if you've added/modified permissions.
 * You have to add a migration script if you've add a new table.
 * You have to add a migration script if you've added new settings to populate group/flags column.
